“Monika does a wonderful job looking after our senior kitty who needs extra care due to diabetes. She really makes a connection and we can tell that our cat absolutely adores her. We know he's in good hands with her each time we need to be away!”
“Jessica took great care of my pup, making sure she got enough play while I was away with friends so that she was ready to relax by the time I got home. Thanks, Jess!”
“I can’t say enough good about the care Julia gave to our cats. Specifically, one is diabetic and we had not left him in 5 years (since his diagnosis) due to the care he needs with getting insulin twice/day. We were nervous to leave them but quickly felt very good about things from the moment Julia came to meet the cats and during the visits and updates she sent. We felt like our lives changed and will definitely request her again to take care of our fur babies.”
“Stephanie was such a huge help to us with our sick kitty. She dropped in to administer her meds while we were out of town and made sure she was doing okay! Will definitely be using Stephanie in the future for our cat care!”
“We’re so happy with the care that Jill provided for our pups! She was wonderful, caring, and understanding when our appointment ran very long. We look forward to having Jill back in the future!”
“Olivia is super helpful & easy going! Felt super confident that she was going to take great care of my dog and she did! You can tell she really cares and wants to make sure she provides for the dog how the owner would. Will be using her time & time again!”
“Kelly is reliable and responds quickly. This is the second time she has cared for our cat while we were out of town. We will definitely use Kelly again if she is available!”
About: I work 100% out of my home and enjoy having furry friends around to keep me company. I enjoy going outside with my friends on two walks a day. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. We are a family of 6. Two parents, three human kids and one furry kid. Human kids are gone at school during the day but our kind dog Paco is home with me during the day. Paco is a sweet and loving dog who likes friends to walk with or snuggle with. We have a loving home with lots of places to lounge out at during the day. We enjoy having additional furry friends around to keep us company during the days and nights. If you’d like to know more please don’t hesitate to reach out.
“This is the second time Carolyn had taken care of my two giant dogs. She is patient with them and they are excited to see her. We appreciate the attention to detail.”
“Ashley was great with our 8 year old golden doodle. Responded quickly to our last minute booking request, came right over for a meet and greet and followed through by being fantastic with our dog for several drop in visits over a weekend. She came right on time and sent us plenty of pictures and video so we knew all was well. It was great knowing our fur baby was in good hands and that peace of mind allowed us to relax and enjoy our evenings without worry. We will definitely be booking Ashley again soon!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, so caring for them is second nature to me! From bouncy puppies who need patience and consistency to sweet senior pups who enjoy a slower pace, I love them all. I’m happy to help with basic training, stick to routines, and make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and tail wags while you’re away I’m in school, but I make plenty of time for pets! I can fit walks, playtime, and care into my daily and weekly schedule, so every pet gets attention, love, and fun while I balance school. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfy wherever they are! In your home, I follow your instructions and make sure they have food, water, and lots of love. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of supervision, cuddles, and fun so every pet feels safe and cared for
“Jenny is an exceptional pet sitter who went above and beyond in caring for my cat, Louie. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals was evident from the moment she started. She sent updates with photos of Louie, showing him looking happy and content. Not only did Jenny follow Louie's feeding schedule meticulously, but she also spent quality time playing with him and giving him the attention he needs. She noticed his favorite spots around the house and made sure to give him scratches and pets just where he likes them. What impressed me most was her conscientiousness. She kept the litter box impeccably clean and even noticed when Louie was being a bit shy and knew exactly how to coax him out with his favorite toys. She left detailed notes about his daily activities, eating habits, and general mood. I returned home to find a happy, well-cared-for cat who clearly had been given lots of love and attention. Jenny's professional yet caring approach gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving pet sitter. She's truly a gem!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lake Elmo on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,443 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lake Elmo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lake Elmo stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Elmo. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
